Volunteer

Centre 404 was started by volunteers, in 1951 and it is our volunteers who still play a key role in supporting us and the work we do.

We currently work with over 85 volunteers and offer a variety of different roles to get involved in from helping out at our Friday Night social where over 70 service users attend to being a Befriender to someone and spending a few hours with them a week to offer companionship.

Interested in volunteering? Please download our volunteer joining form. Once complete, please send it to JosieK@centre404.org.uk or Centre 404, 404 Camden Road, London, N7 0SJ.

Mark has been volunteering at the Friday Night Social since June 2015

I love coming to the Friday Night Social after a long week at work and just having some fun, it really helps to de-stress me!

I don’t find the volunteering a chore, I love it and look forward to going each week. I hope to think I’ve added something to those that come to the Friday Night Social, because I’ve certainly gained a lot from them.

Guide and encourage you

I joined Centre 404 at a career break in my life. I knew I wanted to give some of my life and work experiences back to others.

My first days at the group were daunting, but the management and other volunteers are terrific in supporting you through this process, always there to guide and encourage you.

Centre 404 has given me confidence and a lift I hadn’t been expecting. You do these activities thinking it’s solely to help others, but what suddenly becomes apparent is how much it helps you.

I’ve developed my confidence from volunteering at Centre 404

I started volunteering with Centre 404 because I wanted to meet new people and try something new. It is nice to get out of the house and I enjoy going in to Centre 404 and having a chat and a laugh and making new friends.
